      Pool Chemistry

      Let's talk water chemistry

      pH and Alkalinity

      • What is pH?
      • Can I maintain high alkalinity (>120 ppm) and low calcium hardness (<200 ppm) if it keeps my LSI balanced?
      • How to Lower Alkalinity in a Pool
      • Why does Alkalinity rise in a pool using a CO2 feeder for pH control?

      LSI and Calcium Issues

      • What is the LSI?
      • I have calcium crystals in my pool. What do I do?
      • Why are there white flakes in my pool?

      Water Clarity Issues

      • Why is my pool green?

      Chlorination, Disinfection and Oxidation

      • Does PR-10,000 affect ORP?
      • Sanitize vs. Disinfect vs. Oxidize | The Roles of Chlorine in Swimming Pools
      • My pool will not hold chlorine. Why?
      • What is ORP?

      Phosphates

      • I tested zero phosphates, but PR-10,000 still clouded my pool. Why?
      • How to know if you have phosphates in your pool

      Cyanuric Acid (CYA)

      • What increases Cyanuric Acid (CYA) in a swimming pool?
      • Do Orenda products reduce Cyanuric Acid (CYA)?
